Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : In need of depth in the power rotation at that moment, the Heat went for Precious Achiuwa at No. 20; Maxey went the next pick at No. 21 to the 76ers.
55% : But at that same moment, there arguably were a pair of ready-now, in-the-moment NBA-level scorers available, with Duke guard Jared McCain going the next pick to the Philadelphia 76ers, followed, at No. 17, by Tennessee guard Dalton Knecht going to the Los Angeles Lakers.
54% : Last year, that perception was somewhat skewed with the way Jaime Jaquez Jr. arrived at No. 18 and immediately contributed as a Heat rotation player.
54% : "HE'S NO. 16: While Knecht went at No. 17, two picks after the Heat selected Kel'el Ware in June's first round, 76ers guard Jared McCain, taken one pick after Ware, caught the attention of Heat coach Erik Spoelstra ahead of the teams' matchup this past week.
51% : This past June came off as one of those moments, when the pick at No. 15 was Kel'el Ware, the center out of Indiana who not only set up as a potential complement to Bam Adebayo, but also as a means to man the minutes with Adebayo out of the mix.
46% : Arguably, in that moment, with the Heat moving in that direction toward a big man, the questions of the moment perhaps were whether a play to move up for Zach Edey would have made sense, with Edey going at No. 9 to the Memphis Grizzlies, or whether the better big-man option would have been Yves Missi, the big man out of Baylor taken at No. 21 by the New Orleans Pelicans.
